The 275 megawatts of electricity was transmitted to Turkey on the Ahiska-Borcka power transmission line.

Energy companies transferred the electricity because of the more competitive pricing than Turkey's domestic production allowing savings to be made.

Turkey and Georgia established Ahiska-Borcka power transmission line in December 2013, but Turkey as yet has not reached its target electricity imports from Georgia as the lack of the rainfall this year in the country has impacted its ability to generate its quota of hydro power. Georgia has rich hydro power resources, and the country meets the majority of its generation from hydro power plants.
